Windows Desktop Video: How to Add a Contact

Our how-to videos will teach you everything you need to know to get started with Skype.  Now, learn how to add a contact on Skype for Windows Desktop.
Was this video helpful? Could you get your contact added?

Actually it works the same if your Skype is in the default view as shown in the video  There is no longer an "Add to contact" button even though it's still in the menu.  Skype is already focused on the search pane, so the step 1 in the video is no longer required, but the rest is the exactly the same.
1.  Start Skype
2.  Type the name of the contact you want to add (it's already focused on the box)
3.  Click "Search Skype" or press the enter key to request the search.
4.  Find the contact in the list and click "Add to Contacts".
5.  Type your welcome message and click "Send".
There are longer ways to perform the same task, but this method is one step shorter than the video.  I'd hardly call the video useless.

  • How to add a contact to a specific group while on the go away from desktop.

    I too am frustrated with that. I've come up with a little work around that works for me though so see what you guys think.
    I most often run into this right after I have spoken to a prospect about Windsurfing gear and so I immediately want to put them into my Windsurfing gear prospects. I would do this by adding them as a contact and putting windsurf as the company in the contact so that when I got back to my desktop I would do a search for windsurf and add the contacts from that day to the Windsurf group.
    Today I discovered, if you go into the specific group, you can click the plus sign at the top right and add a new contact right into that group. Unfortunately you cannot grab their number from recent calls, BUT, you can go to recent calls once you have made this new contact in whatever group you wanted to create it in and click add to existing contact and voila, there ya go.
    It could be easier for sure but this works while on the go.
    Let me know if it worked for you guys.

    Whenever I add a new contact to Contacts (address book), the contact just gets added to default list. Is there an option in iOS6 to add the contact to a specific group within my contacts or to move a contact from one group to another? I know how to do this on my iMac, but do not how to do it on either the iPad or iPhone.

  • How to add a contact to an ical event

    This Annoyed me for ages !!
    I wanted to add a contact but not invite them purely for my own info.
    And i found a way around it.
    Its easy.. Just add the vcf file of your contact as an attachment in the event !
    I made a project folder and added all contacts needed vcf files to there, (just drag n dropped) and then just navigate to that folder to add the contact !
    Hope that helps some peeps

  • How To Add New Contact To a Group Using iPhone

    I use a Business and Personal Group. When I add a new contact using my iPhone, there is no way I can assign it to a Group. Then when I sync, the new contact shows only in Group "All". Further, in Address Book you cannot tell which contacts are not in a Group. I can see the total number of contacts in Group All, and the total in Group Personal, and the total in Group Business, so I can tell the sum of Personal and Business is less than the number in All. But I cannot tell which contacts are in All and not assigned to either Business or Personal. This makes it difficult to then locate the contact on my iPhone (I tend to always look in the appropriate Group).
    So how can I either a) assign a new contact to a Group using my iPhone or b) identify in Address Book which contacts are not assigned to any Group?

    a) In Phone, Contacts, enter the group you want, THEN add the new contact (you can't add a new contact to a group from Recents, but you can add a number to an existing contact, which will remain in its original group).
    b) In Address Book, select group All, then click File, Export Group vCard... and view the exported file with your favorite text file viewing method (TextEdit, cat | more, vi, etc.); look for entries without a CATEGORIES: line.
    Unchecking Hide Extension and changing it from .vcf to .txt might allow you to open it easier in TextEdit; I opened Terminal and used "cat Documents/vCards.vcf | grep : | more" to view them ("grep :" filters out the photos).
    (Note to others: The above procedure is for Mac OS; Windows users could probably export their Outlook Address Book and use Notepad to view it.)

  • Controller skins for multimedia (swf) video -how to add?

    My version of Acrobat Pro 9 does not have controller skins for swf files added with the Tools > Multimedia > Flash menu. But in watching AdobeTV - Kelly McCathran "A PDF Can Do That" video, she is using Acrobat Pro v9 on a Macintosh and at 13:38 time there are controller options available in her setup. Is this because the video is FLV and it includes the controller skins? http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15383v1011
    Is it possible to add skins as a swf file is embedded in PDF to control playback?
    Is there a place to download basic controller skins?
    Can Javascript be used for playback controls of embedded swf files?
    My goal is to be able to pause a video and add a comment like in the "Commenting on Video in Acrobat" movie at AdobeTV - http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15361v1015. I want to do more testing of this feature on my Mac because the first time I could make comments but the time code/reference was not captured and therefore the comment could not jump back to the video frame. I hope this was just me and not an oversight for all Macintosh users.

    I doubt you'll get an answer here. We're all users, not Adobe employees. Acrobat 9 Pro is pretty new, and not many people are using the multimedia tools.
    You might have more luck on this website:
    http://www.acrobatusers.com/topics/rich-media
    They also have forums where Adobe employees sometimes answer questions.

  • How do I add a contact form / feedback form to my site?

    Is there a way to create forms in Muse? Or are there any widgets that can create forms?

    While there isn't yet native support for web forms in Muse (they're on our roadmap), there are some workarounds until we get there. Dani created a rough-cut video on how to add a contact form to your Muse site using Business Catalyst. Go to our Past Events list of Jam Sessions http://www.adobekb.com/events.html#past and watch the Adding Contact Forums session:
    Users have also reported success adding contact forms to their site using Adobe FormsCentral, Jotform, or Wufoo and inserting them via Object > Insert HTML.
